Sorry, I smell like varnish.

Well, I'm ending my almost month long hiatus an am now going to inform my 3 readers what I've been up to.

1. Time Out for Women with sister and sis in law. Yes, I cried.
2. Work. Some weeks I work 4 nights and some weeks only 1, but it's still very exhausting. And before you text me me asking, I work as a housekeeper for the IF Temple... And have since March.
3. Half Marathon. I finished it on June 11, but am still running to prepare for my next one in August. It's awsome, but yes, time consuming/exhausting.
4. No internet... But not to worry. After a recent purchase, we now have wifi AND a Samsung Galaxy.
5. Refinishing our piano. After hours and hours of neverending sanding, staining, and 5 coats of polyurethane... It's (still almost) done.
6. Did I fail to mention that we moved? Yes. June 6th.

I could write a list of biblical proportion about how number 6 has been almost the death of my happiness. Moving to a house and unpacking things from 2 storage units (some of which have been stored unopened for 2 1/2 years) has been stressful and not quite as fun as I had previously anticipated. Whatev.

So, I'm back, slightly grudgingly. And yes, I do realize I prolly spelled that wrong.

You have been super busy! Kudos on running the 1/2 marathon! Moving is never fun. It's always just a lot of work. Hopefully things get a little bit less exhausting and draining for you soon!

Life with 2 kids is exhausting enough! I don't know how you manage it all! But your house looks beautiful as does your piano. Hang in there! Life has got to cool off soon!

Erika, you crack me up. I totally love your house, by the way.

I wish I could run! Since I injured my knee I can only walk & have yet to build up to riding a bike so I am super jealous of your running! I also WISH my piano was refinished! It's been on my to-do list for 3 years, but I'm too nervous to mess it up!
